Spiral Inductor Design for Quality Factor

  • Published : 2002.03.01

Abstract

A closed form expression for the quality factor of the spiral inductor, methodologically, is presented as a function of the inductance ($L_{ind}$), metal-line width (W), spacing (S), inner and the diameter ($D_i$). For a given inductance, the dependences of quality factor on W, S, and $D_i$ are analyzed, and suggested the design optimization guidelines.
